Speak for yourself. I wish that were true. The first version of CP/M
I ran was 1.3 When it was available and 1.4 was much better and useful.
I had access to PDP-8 ion 1969 and PDP10 in 1971 and got my first PDP11
in 1980(still have it too!). PDP11 stopped being current in the 1990s
when DEC sold the tech and licenses. Up till then you could buy it new
and faster (and then from mentec for years after that).
Well not *me* (or you, apparently!), but a lot of people. I cut my
teeth in the early 1980s with CP/M, Atari 800, and a PDP-11/34a. I was
in my early teen years at the time. I started out in electronics a good
bit before that, when I was seven.

I still don't have the hang of this
"vintage" thing yet, probably
because I'm vintage myself. Please forgive my density...
I often suffer
from the same problem. I think very few of us, even
here, actually used stuff like CP/M and PDP-11s when they were
considered current technology.
